Demon Hunters

PROLOGUE

"Capture all the children! Make sure none of them will escape!" Said the man with a ghastly grin painted on his face. "If they can." He added, grinning even wider.

It was a total chaos. The whole village was burned to bits not sparing anything. People were running amok trying to escape their ends in every possible way. Burned corpses of adults and even children were lying on the cold ground. And blood of the people on the terrorists' swords. The people's cry can be heard from every corner of the village, asking for help and pleading for mercy but was cruelly ignored.

How did it come to this? All this time, they were just living peacefully and has nothing to worry about. Their village was provided with richness of both people and environment. Until this day where everything seems a dream, like a vivid horrible nightmare. Many lives were taken as if it's nothing. The children were caged like a wild animals without knowing where will they be taken. The adults resists then they were killed as simple as that.

Then there's this girl covered with blood stains who seems to be mourning by the death of the people beside her... Her parents.
She cried and cried, unable to do anything, until the leader of the of the criminals spotted her. He walked towards the girl with an amused expression.

"Hey little lamb, why are you crying?" He 'worriedly' asked the child. The girl turned her gazed to the man and stared at him with a frightened expression. Knowing him, the girl almost forgot how to breath. "You looked pale, are you alright?" The man asked as he leaned down to level the girl. He touched her cheeks, and the girl flinched and began to tremble with her tears falling from her beautiful brown orbs.

"Oh, don't cry. I will not hurt you. 'I promise'." As he said his last words, he embraced the girl with 'care'. But, despite her age and young mind, the girl was knowledgeable enough to know who to trust. The man pulled back from the hug only to notice a sharp thing buried into his chest. Yes, a knife buried on his very chest. He looked at the girl who is already holding another knife, pointing it to him with nothing but hatred in her eyes.

"D-don't touch m-me. S-s-stay away!" The teenage girl exclaimed still pointing him the sharp object. The man smirked not feeling any pain from the object in his chest. "I w-will k-kill you!" She added while stammering and trembling. But she was serious on what she said, no hesitation nor conscience is pulling her back. She will definitely kill this man in front of her if he ever take another one step towards her. But suddenly, all her will began to crumble when the knife she was holding was thrown away when a massive invisible force hit her. Then the man snagged her neck, lifting her body from the ground, strangling her. Struggling, she looked at the man's face. That malicious grin he was wearing earlier vanished and was replaced by a cold, dark and dead expression. It's almost like he was totally a different person...no, a demon.

"How foolish.. You think you can hurt me with a mere knife?" The girl shivered from the sound of his voice. It was low but deep and holds an authority. Not to mention this deadly aura his emitting, proving that he is not somehow human.

Due to an adrenaline rush that she felt driven by fear, the girl released a massive amount of her energy producing a hundred count of knives and blades appeared beside her. Standing aghast, the man loosen his grip on the girl's neck which has allowed her to move and kicked the man backward. The man finally realized the situation. That kid is not ordinary. She is a wielder, an ability wielder.
'Weapon Summoning, huh. Such an interesting power.' The man thought to himself.

The girl was as shock as anyone else. This was the first time that she released this kind of amount of power. Ever since, she had no idea how to handle her ability, she don't know how to use them. For her, they were practically useless. But now, she can feel it. It's on her control, she feels like she can do anything with it now.
Having those feeling gave her a new ray of hope that this power might be able protect all the remaining people of the village. She focused on her power. Visualizing it circulating throughout her body. Then she stretched her arms in front, indicating that she is ready to attack the man.

She screamed in a painful yet bravest way. Letting all of her frozen weapon made their way to the man who destroyed her everything. She poured everything in that attack, her pain, agony, regret, hatred and love. It was probably her first attack but surely, it will also be the last. She just have to have faith that everything will work out just she how wants them to...

But it didn't... It never did...

The moment her blades reached the man's direction, it did not hit him. Instead, it froze, stopped in the mid-air as if it's struggling to pass through some kind of invisible barrier. Until the blades stopped moving and finally fell into the ground losing all of it's force.. The girl's vision blurry proving that she has used all her strength. She smiled, it was a smile of defeat. She realised how useless, and weak she was. Then she fell into the cold stained-red ground. But before she losses her consciousness, she saw the man approach her once again and whispered.

"You'll need another hundred of years to lay a hand on me kid, and forever to defeat me."
